A day in the beautiful St. Raphael Resort

Limanaki Beach Hotel

The room itself was spacious and airy, with the white walls and wood panelling providing a simple yet beautiful decor.
The food was simple but good if a bit repetitive (the same breakfast was served for our entire weekend stay there). Besides breakfast we di...
